My Ten Commandments For Fat Loss
You've decided you want to get into
shape, you've started looking around the internet or in books for
exercises and advice, you may have even asked friends who've done it
themselves before. But
Where does this leave you?
Swamped in information, literally
pulling your hair out and eventually giving up!
So here's my 10 commandments to
fighting fat to help you cut through all the b.s and stick to what
works....
- Go on a low Carb diet: The
single greatest way to shrink that belly as fast as possible.
- Stop drinking: Alcohol
is packed full of the wrong calories, what's more you make bad
decisions while under it's influence wreaking havoc on your diet
efforts and with a nice little hangover the next day ruins any
chance of exercise for another day.
- Exercise: If
you're only daily activity is tapping away on a keyboard then almost
anything will make a difference which brings me to my next point..
- Exercise right: Most
common mistake in the gym, if you want to lose fat Interval train
and lift weights don't waste your time plodding away on the cardio
equipment for half an hour. Yes you might be sweaty but you wont be
losing too much weight.
- Get help: Avoid
mainstream magazines and fad diets. Some trusted sources of
knowledge out there are Dr Jonny Bowden, Patrick Holford and the
many books that they have on the nutrition side of things. Hire a
trainer, it works, simple.
- Commit this part of
your life
to getting in shape: Do it now
or don't bother. So many people spend their whole life on off
dieting because they let too many things get in the way. If you just
committed yourself to it wholeheartedly you could be done in 6
months.
- Prioritise your health: So
many people put their jobs before their health. It should be the
other way around! Your health and your family are the most important
things in life, put them first and you'll live a long and happy
life.
- Get your mind right: With
the risk of sounding new agey, you have to believe you can do it or
you never will. It doesn't matter your starting point you can get
any body that you want, trust me I've seen it and helped people do
it so many times. If you still need convincing go out there and read
some of the amazingly inspirational stories, they'll help put your
situation into perspective.
- Set goals: If
you don't know where you want to go how can you ever expect to get
there? When you have clear and defined goals working out the route
map becomes easy and set them high, don't sell yourself short.
- And lastly Don't over
train:
See this one a lot as well.
Obviously people are fired up in the beginning and fly out of the
blocks. Then they get injured or burnt out and lose the will to
carry on, ending up achieving nothing. Easy does it, remember
however hard you train you won't lose it all over night.
Good
Luck and if you need any help be sure to drop me an e-mail at

See
you in the gym, Ross.
